Cyropaedia

BOOK VI
21/50

[28] For every one who eats porridge has the oatmeal mixed with water, and every one who eats bread has the wheat soaked in water, and all boiled meat is prepared in water.

We shall not miss the wine if we drink a little after the meal is done.

[29] Then we must gradually lessen the amount, until we find that, without knowing it, we have become water-drinkers.

Gradual change enables every creature to go through a complete conversion; and this is taught us by God, who leads us little by little out of winter until we can bear the blazing heat of summer, and out of heat back again into the depths of winter.

So should we follow God, and take one step after another until we reach our goal.
